Trademark Services

Protecting your trademarks starts with smart clearance. We guide you through searches, risk assessments, and naming strategy so you avoid costly conflicts before filing.

When you are ready to file, we prepare and prosecute applications, respond to Office Actions, and coordinate foreign filings through trusted associates. We also help police misuse, handle renewals, and structure coexistence or licensing arrangements to keep your brand strong.

Brand Architecture for Tech Companies

For high-tech clients, trademarks often intersect with product naming conventions, open-source project names, and app store listings. We help you navigate specific challenges like:

• Descriptive vs. Suggestive: Naming features in software without being merely descriptive (which kills the mark).
• International Classes: Properly classifying SaaS, PaaS, and downloadables to ensure broad coverage.
• Hardware/Software Overlap: Protecting a brand that spans physical devices and cloud services.

Clearance And Strategy

The earliest decisions usually have the biggest impact. We help you select marks that are distinctive, usable, and protectable by:

• Evaluating naming options and risk levels
• Coordinating clearance searches and reviewing results
• Advising on filing bases, goods and services descriptions, and brand architecture

Filing And Prosecution

Once you are ready to file, we handle the mechanics and the strategy behind them:

• Preparing and filing applications with a clean specification and evidence plan
• Responding to Office Actions and guiding you through any required changes
• Managing multi-jurisdiction strategy, including foreign filings through trusted counsel

Enforcement, Policing, And Maintenance

Trademarks live or die by consistent use and consistent enforcement. We support:

• Monitoring and response strategies for misuse and confusingly similar marks
• Coexistence, settlement, and licensing arrangements
• Renewals and portfolio maintenance so marks remain in force as your business grows
